Kelly Clarkson’s album, “Wrapped in Red” transcends traditional, tedious holiday tunes that we know, into an upbeat modern soundtrack. This album proves that Clarkson can not only appeal to the pop audience, but also to the classic holiday music fans.

Katy Perry’s “Prism” proves to be disappointing despite her promise of a career shift out of pop. “Prism” provides almost no significant changes, other than the lyrics, to her typical pop-love songs, essentially creating a Teenage Dream 2.0. It is the product of Swedish hit makers Dr. Luke and Max Martin. However Perry’s falls flat of growing as an artist and doesn’t take any risks. She sticks to what she knows best, pop and breakup songs. […]
Singer Bethany Costentino’s vocals give a unique sound to “Fade Away,” and multi-instrumentalist Bobb Bruno’s beats are soothing, but the lyrics are not creative enough to make the album truly unique.

Arcade Fire’s new album, “Reflektor,” is an absolute disaster, as it completely diverges from the relatively mild indie rock roots from which the once-renowned band began. Awkward instrumental mash-ups, odd lyrics and vocals and an overuse of synthesizers move the group from its previous place in the 21st century and back into what sounds like the worst of the ‘80s.

Although it lacks variety, up-and-coming singer Lorde’s debut album, “Pure Heroine,” lives up to its addictive title with thoughtful lyrics founded on the young artist’s distinctive maturity. […]
John Legend has been known for his accompaniment to famous singers including Alicia Keys, Kanye West and Jay-z, but the singer-songwriter has changed his status of featured artist and has emerged into the spotlight as a solo artist with his quality new album, “Love in the Future.” […]
After the release of The Naked and Famous’s new album, this group proved that not only can they perform and create fun, danceable music, but they can also successfully present moving and strongly emotional music. The Naked and Famous did not fail to impress one bit with their new album “In Rolling Waves.” […]
Finally after 2 years The band “The Weeknd”, released first major, full length album recently on September 10, 2013. The new album is called “Kiss land.” It is the first complete album since 2011’s mixtape “Echo of silence.”
“Kiss Land,” a very recent album by “The Weeknd” represents “The Weeknds'” existential lasciviousness in their records. Although this album is nothing revolutionary, it has a more colorful and frenetic and less controlled presentation to it. […]
